The Mayor, Emmanuelle Pierre-Marie, gave a very noticed encouraging speech, as she does during her weekend tour in her borough. The brightness and color of her attire did not go unnoticed. It is with great kindness and simplicity that Madam Mayor was kind enough to speak in private about her choice to wear a Rose Bonbon dress:

“I don’t buy a lot of clothes because I’m as much a political environmentalist as I’m in everyday life. I chose an ethical clothing brand because it respects the environment and the people it employs. This is a dress that I chose for my daughter’s wedding and put on today because it is candy pink. I had to intervene on another action before coming here with a resident of the 12th district who is very involved in disability and cancer. I put on Pink to symbolize this color and the action “Pink October” which is essential for us Women. Breast cancer is a cause of death ”.

Accompanied by his assistants:

▪ Manon Havet, Assistant in charge of ecological transition, green spaces and animal health.

▪ Nizar Belghith, Borough Councilor, delegate in charge of the participatory budget and the Vallée de Fécamp district.

The origins of the Pink October awareness campaign:

Pink October is breast cancer prevention campaign month. The association “Breast Cancer, Let’s Talk!” »Proposes to fight against breast cancer by informing, dialoguing and mobilizing in the four corners of France. The month of October therefore allows the association, which works all year round to support medical and scientific research, to highlight those who are fighting this disease.

The color pink was chosen because it is a feminine color, soft, joyful and which evokes good health, everything that this cancer is not, as the association “Breast Cancer Action” emphasizes. The pink ribbon has today become the international symbol of the fight against breast cancer.
